PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Vasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, George Straits- The Fireman. Vasquez has chosen Careless Whisper as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
